Snorkel + Snuba | Maui

I’m so excited to share one of our big adventures in Maui, snorkeling and snuba-diving. We took a tour out of Kihei, Maui with Maui Magic. They were great! The guides were wonderful, so knowledgeable, and even helped us spot humpback whales (which, don’t worry, I’ll share about later this week). We decided to try […]

Dole Plantation + Pineapple Fields | Oahu

I’m excited to share a bit of an obsession I developed thanks to our adventure in Hawaii, pineapples!! 😀 Honestly, I hated pineapple before this trip, but, wow wee, it was so much better in Hawaii so I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. I brought home several pineapple souvenirs from the islands, but, lucky […]

The Greatest Adventure on Maui

One of our greatest adventures on Maui didn’t exactly go as planned. Actually it pretty much wasn’t even close to what we planned, but we rolled with the punches, and made the most of it. We planned out a long, full day of exploring our way to Hana, on the famous Hana Highway. We planned […]

Golf + Joy in Kapalua, Maui

Do you know anyone who absolutely pretty much cares nothing about “things”?  Like birthday presents, Christmas presents, whatever, they don’t really care what they get, or don’t get, they are just happy, content, and really hard to surprise! Lovely is just that. He rarely gets excited about things. Experiences, however, those at the ish nish for him. […]

Hawaii | Trip Highlights

In getting the ball rolling with my new venture in blogging our travels, I knew I wanted to share more in depth than Instagram or Facebook allows. I wanted to share more photos, deeper thoughts, things we learned, etc. on specific places (restaurants, parks, activities, beaches) in every locale we’ve visited. Maybe the details will […]

Hello, we're dwd travel

High-touch planning.
Heartfelt care.
Hella good destination weddings.

At DWD Travel, we plan all inclusive resort destination weddings that feel like a breeze—but look like a million bucks. From resort scouting and wedding design to coordinating guest room blocks and travel logistics, we’re here to make the process feel as good as the wedding day itself.

Led by destination wedding travel agent Dana Lewis (hi, that's me), we bring real resort expertise, trusted vendor relationships, and a whole lot of heart to every wedding we plan. We've walked the venues, toured the suites, tasted the menus, and negotiated the room blocks, all so you don't have to guess.

Your wedding deserves more than a package. It deserves someone in your corner who actually knows the difference between a beachfront ceremony and a ocean view ceremony,  and which one is right for you.
